As Mother’s Day approaches in Australia, it’s an ideal time to pamper Mum with something beyond the traditional flowers and chocolates. If you're keen on splurging and showing your love by exploring destinations beyond Australia, I’ve curated a list of spas that promise to pamper her and reinforce your dedication to showing her the world. Treat your mum to an international getaway this Mother’s Day and indulge her at any of these incredible locations.
On the foothills of the Himalayas and amid a lychee and mango plantation is Six Senses Vana. This revived ayurvedic retreat is a perfect place to take your mum if she needs to refresh, rejuvenate, and reconnect with nature.
Six Senses Vana has gained quite a reputation for being one of the most luxurious spas in the world, and it’s no surprise given how much thought and care goes into the architecture and interior design of the resort.
The resort makes use of neutral colours and wood for a more organic feel. Additionally, the lack of colour allows you to focus on your practice while appreciating the vibrant colours of nature.
Six Senses Vana is surrounded by manicured lawns and acres of trees to give its visitors the ultimate privacy so that they may focus on themselves.
Located at the top of the St. Barbara Bastion is the Iniala Harbour House. This hotel is known for giving guests a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour while providing them with luxurious accommodations at the heart of the ancient stone city of Valletta.
Inside the Iniala Harbour House is the Essensi Spa. The architects of this hotel made sure to take full advantage of the historical architecture while injecting modern design to create a timelessly tranquil getaway for mum.
Essensi Spa boasts a heated pool surrounded by contemporary Maltese art for a visual and tactile experience like no other. Your mum can also choose from a variety of wellness services from the spa menu.
In the Aristi Village in Zagori, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies The Aristi Mountain Resort. This Greek mountain resort provides an authentic experience in the Greek mountains without sacrificing comfort.
The resort’s architecture follows European architecture with its stone walls and wooden ceilings that’ll make your mum feel like she’s living in a castle - but with all the amenities that the 21st century has to offer. But, the crowning glory of Aristi Mountain Resort is its spa.
The Aristi Mountain Resort’s spa has a curated menu that offers visitors Mediterranean-inspired wellness services complete with Greek oils and herbs. Of course, the spa has a temperature-controlled indoor pool that offers a magnificent view of the mountains.
